Upon reboot or shutdown, it offers to create a save file and after 8-9 min it finally starts creating one, then reboot or shutdown is accomplished properly. On restart, the newly created save file, although present, is not recognized.

It appears that all functions requiring probing of the hard drives takes an excessive amount of time. Pmount takes 3-4 min, Gparted took almost 15 min. Of course, I do have 12 partitions plus a couple of usb devices connected.

I booted the live dvd and after setting up wireless etc, I used the
fatdog64 installer to install to a partition on the hard drive.
The network wizard needs to be run each bootup to setup the wireless
connection.
I had a video running in VLC and at the same time had a video at cnn
running fullscreen in Seamonkey, both worked well on this not so
powerfull laptop.

Opera 11.64 put a folder in /usr/lib which I suspect had previously been a symbolic link to /usr/lib64 like in fd520

So I put a symbolic link to /usr/lib64/hardinfo in /usr/lib then Hardinfo worked again.

I had this problem earlier and thought I have fixed it. Can you please provide the link to the pet so that I can test it?_________________Fatdog64, Slacko and Puppeee user. Puppy user since 2.13.

wireless is working fine but I'm having great difficulty getting the tap to work on my touchpad.

What is the problem? Does it work at all (ie you can move the cursor with it, but tap-to-click doesn't work, or touchpad is not responding? There is an "Adjust touchpad" in the setup menu, if you open that and go to the second tab, down at the bottom you will see that the "Tap Time" is set to zero. Adjust the slider to make it non-zero (say 180) and see if tap-to-click works?_________________Fatdog64, Slacko and Puppeee user. Puppy user since 2.13.

When did the process starts to delay? After the initial message but before the display of the "devices to save", or during the savefile creation process itself?

Do you create the savefile on USB device? If yes, USB device may not be recognised at first boot, add the boot parameter "waitdev=n" (where n is the number in seconds) to delay the disk probing for a while. I need waitdev=3 for my flash drive to be recognised, yours may vary.

When I open adjust touchpad the tap time is already set at 180, so should have worked.

here are the fixes I've been trying:

Open /etc/x11/xorg.conf as text.
Find the line Option "MaxTapTime" "0" and replace "0" with "220".
Next restart X-Server (press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace; type xwin, press Enter).
Now tapping should work

Rude hack for getting the tapping persistent, if the Flsynclient does not do its job, is.....
Go to the /root/Startup. Right click > New > Script. Gave name like enable-tap.
Open the script. There is just shebang row. Under it type that used row.
synclient TapButton1=1.

The last one usually works when all else fails,so I must be missing something.

When did the process starts to delay? After the initial message but before the display of the "devices to save", or during the savefile creation process itself? After clicking Yes to create a save file, although there is also a long delay before the initial message.

When I moved the save file out of the subdirectory to /mnt/home, it is recognized.

I suspect flSynclient is overriding your manual settings. If you delete /root/.flSynclient and then restart X your manual settings will probably work. But try FlSynclient first.

FlSynclient, which is Adjust touch pad under the setup menu, seems to work pretty well. To make tap to click work, open Adjust touch pad and look at the tapping tab. Use the "One Finger" pull down menu to select "left button". Then click save and quit. That should do it.

I don't like tap to click so I leave that alone and go to the "Scrolling" tab and check "Vertical Edge Scroll" and uncheck all the others. That way I have vertical scrolling enabled.
